Champions League Twenty20: Somerset beat Kolkata Night Riders by 5 wickets

Even after technical and powerful battings by Jacques Kallis and Yusuf Pathan the IPL favourite team owned by Bollywood Superstar King Khan Shahrukh Khan’s Kolkata Night Riders lost for the second time with English county team Somerset.

Roelof van der Merwe mastered the slow and low track the best to help Somerset chase a daunting 162. Kolkata Knight Riders’ late surge with both bat and ball made them work hard for the win, Kolkata looted 78 off the last six overs, and quick wickets meant Somerset had to struggle for 43 off their last seven.

The Champions League Twenty20 is hosted by India. Australian teams New South Wales and South Australia have taken part of this tournament.
